Using trusted third party services to provide a secure Web-based medical environment

摘要

EUROMED, aims to define and create the building blocks of a Web-based telemedical information society. EUROMED-ETS, an EC INFOSEC project, provided secure communications among EUROMED participants by establishing Trusted Third Party Services (TTPs) over the Web. Java technology plays an important role in EUROMED and any Web-based medical environment. In this paper, the threats that Java technology introduces to EUROMED are explored and security countermeasures are proposed, utilizing the TTP infrastructure.
